Unbiquadium history merge
I saw that you placed a tag on unbiquadium requesting a history merge, though I already made a request for this action at WP:RFHM. Nevertheless, thank you. ComplexRational (talk) 15:48, 2 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Good to know. Thanks for being proactive, and thanks for letting me know. Also, thanks to for performing the merge. - Eureka Lott 00:24, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

PJ Black
Excuse me for the speedy tag I was attempting to be bold. If I was not an involved editor stumbling upon that discussion, I would have closed the RM at Talk: Justin Gabriel as support to move. I am questionable of non administrator closure. The discussion could have remained open a few more days, and I would hate to do another RM just for everyone to comment the same thing again. I know we do not count votes, but there were 4 votes in support that cited policy backed reasons, while there was 1 oppose and 2 opposes labeled as "weak", indicating those editors also saw somewhat a reason to move. StaticVapor message me!   21:18, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I spoke to the closer and it has been relisted. StaticVapor message me!   20:00, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for going in that direction, instead. While I'm sure your speedy request was in good faith, from an uninvolved perspective it looked like an attempt to circumvent the RM discussion. In case you haven't seen it, WP:MR is also an option in these circumstances. - Eureka Lott 04:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information, much appreciated. StaticVapor message me!   09:50, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of redirect talk pages
Hey EurekaLott, I see you declined my speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Missouri State University Branch Campus Dalian. I've nominated many dozens of similar redirect talk pages using the same rational before and they’ve always been deleted. Is there something different about this one? Can you explain your reasoning further? In any case the WikiProject banners you restored seem unhelpful. Grey Wanderer (talk) 03:40, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular
   

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:22, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of politicians from Cleveland


The article List of politicians from Cleveland has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Doesn't appear to pass WP:LISTN or WP:NOTDIR, other more specific lists such as List of mayors of Cleveland or a possible List of Cleveland City Councillors are better."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:10, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Timdwilliams/Entireweb


A tag has been placed on User:Timdwilliams/Entireweb, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. creffett (talk) 18:06, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Daybreak (TV programe)
The redirect's creator literally says: "I made a mistake in the word programme" when they moved it to the current location so I'm not sure why that doesn't qualify for speedy deletion. G6 states as one reason: "Deleting pages unambiguously created in error or in the incorrect namespace." It doesn't say anything about "unless it's existed for some arbitrary X amount of time". —Joeyconnick (talk) 01:30, 23 June 2019 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, typos in redirects fall under WP:R3, and that's restricted to recently-created redirects. Thank you for bringing it to WP:RFD for a full discussion. - Eureka Lott 01:51, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:WOXY.gif
Thanks for uploading File:WOXY.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ★ Bigr   Tex  22:15, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Category:Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coaches
Hello there, I recently created the page Phil Handy, assistant coach in the NBA. Regrettably his surname/name is not sorted correctly in the Category pages on the Team he served for, ending up under P (Phil), instead of the correct H (Handy-his surname). Are you able to kindly help me in sorting it? Thanks a lot, Riodamascus, 17 July 2019 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riodamascus (talk • contribs) 08:25, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for starting the article. I fixed that issue—you were looking for the DEFAULTSORT magic word. See WP:NAMESORT for more information. When you're working on the article, please consider cleaning up the WP:BAREURLS in the references section. - Eureka Lott 14:42, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

R3
Hi EurekaLott. About your declining of my R3 tagging of and listing at RfD instead, I certainly understand. I had even double checked the criterion ahead of time and wasn't sure if it was recent enough or not. In fact, "recent" is pretty vague, and might mean pretty different things to different readers. I realize it's probably not worth it to try to set an exact hard time limit, but would you be willing to update the page to give at least a slightly clearer notion of what counts as recent? It might be helpful to prospective taggers in the future. Thanks, –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 01:59, 13 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for the note. This is one of those issues that's regularly discussed at WT:CSD. Here's a recent discussion on the subject, and here's another from earlier this year. It's deliberately vague, and you're right that different people have different definitions. If you ask three editors, you'll probably get four opinions, but I think most would agree that a redirect created a year and a half ago wouldn't qualify as recently-created. - Eureka Lott 02:10, 13 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for the response. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 02:28, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society
Dear ,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. ​

Cornelius Bolton
The disambiguation page Cornelius Bolton was deleted as it did not link to any existing articles (WP:G14). I've since created Cornelius Bolton (died 1779) and Cornelius Bolton (died 1829), so it should now link to at least two. Thanks. Opera hat (talk) 20:51, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I just restored the page. Thanks for letting me know. - Eureka Lott 00:20, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Arsura River
Hi, you clearly disagree with deleting this disambiguation page. Could you indicate what you think should be done with the page? I think it should be deleted because the two links on it are to articles that have been deleted, for notability and verifiability reasons. Markussep Talk 19:39, 15 December 2019 (UTC)


 * If you think the page should be deleted, then nominate it for WP:AFD. It already survived a deletion discussion, so it's not eligible for speedy or proposed deletion. Those are solely intended for uncontroversial deletions, which this clearly is not. - Eureka Lott 19:42, 15 December 2019 (UTC)


 * If the RfD counts as a deletion discussion then you're right, I didn't see it like that. Anyway I'll take it to AfD now. Markussep Talk 19:54, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Lead nitrate
I have requested speedy deletion for the reasons now given on the speedy deletion talk page. Please note that I created this page originally with data that was removed from the article page. I have now re-instated the relevant data on the article page in the form of a graphic, so the data page is redundant. p.s. I first created a graphic in EXCEL showing all 4 curves in the published data but it was obvious that it is sufficient to show just one curve.Petergans (talk) 11:45, 5 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note. I replied at Talk:Lead(II) nitrate (data page). - Eureka Lott 18:42, 5 January 2020 (UTC


 * Please note that only two items on the data page that you have restored contain any information at all.
 * Bond length 127 pm (N-O)
 * Std enthalpy change of formation, ΔfHosolid| -452 kJ/mol


 * The first item is covered in the main article under "crystal structure".
 * The data in the second item  are not reliable as the numerical value is derived from theoretical estimates.
 * For these reasons they were over-written when I added the solubility information. It would be appreciated if you now proceeded with speedy deletion as the restored page contains no useful information. Petergans (talk) 12:29, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

CMA Open Access Anniversary Campaign
Hello! I'm sending you this message as you're a member of WikiProject Cleveland Museum of Art. January 23rd was the one-year anniversary of the CMA's Open Access initiative, and they put up a great blog post of the outcomes and collaborations that have resulted from it (including impacts on Wikimedia projects, and the creation of WikiProject Cleveland Museum of Art).

To recognize this anniversary, we're hosting a Open Access Anniversary Editing Campaign through February 9; anyone who creates an article or expands two articles by 100+ words each will receive a postcard from the CMA. Cheers, ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 02:44, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

ESTJ
Thanks for your revert on my speedy request for ESTJ (disambiguation). What's going on here? The article ESTJ (and all the Myers Briggs type indicator articles I've looked at, eg INFP) seem to have been hijacked and turned into disambiguation pages. There's no way that Socionics is a primary topic for these expressions. There seems to something not quite right here. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:32, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I meant: there's no way the Myers Briggs type indicator isn't the primary topic for these expressions. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * It looks like we had separate articles on all of the Myers-Briggs personality types (I checked a bunch, but not all of them) until last year, when they were merged to Myers–Briggs Type Indicator by An inexperienced editor reverted the ESTJ page back to article, but I undid the edit, because only having one of the personality types as an article didn't make much sense to me. If we're not going to have individual articles, should the pages be redirects or disambiguation pages? I don't know. - Eureka Lott 15:15, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I think the reason I made disambiguation pages is that putting 16 hatnotes on Myers–Briggs Type Indicator that say something like "ESTJ redirects here. For ESTj see Socionics." would result in too many notes. Putting some sort of general catch-all hatnote that mentions the relationship between the two systems might work if you don't like the disambiguation pages. These are also not the only names in Socionics; see Socionics. -- Beland (talk) 16:38, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Eureka, and . I'll give this some thought. I definitely don't like all the 2-dab disambiguation pages, but I'll take it up elsewhere. Regards, Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:48, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

You deleted rather that correct - so what cc code to use?
Hi, re your deletion of the image, you specified it simply had the wrong cc code when you deleted and you said "(F3: Invalid licence, eg. "for non-commercial use only" or "for Wikipedia use only": CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)". The author has labeled it OK being used non-commercially on wikipedia - but you disagreee with the author - what gives? So what CC code should be used "for Wikipedia use only"? Please explain? CatCafe (talk) 01:01, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello. Unfortunately, Wikipedia cannot accept files licensed for non-commercial use only or licenses that prohibit derived works, and CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 is both of those. Please see WP:IUPC for an overview and File copyright tags/Comprehensive for a complete list of acceptable and unacceptable licenses. - Eureka Lott 01:13, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes OK, It's caused a ton of questioning on the talk page Upload/Flickr of why WP needs commercially exploitable images, and rejects non-commercial CC images. One can only conclude that this ensures WP will one day be able to be sold, use advertising or commercially exploited. Rather than accept, I question their motives in the rejection of "CC BY-NC" images. CatCafe (talk) 01:41, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I think you may want to have a look at Non-free content, which explains the policies better than I could. There are exceptions, but for the most part, Wikipedia strives to have content free of copyright restrictions. - Eureka Lott 01:57, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

File:Hicham Idelcaid.jpg
Hi EurekaLott

Please could you delete the page

File:Hicham Idelcaid.jpg

I know it is has already been deleted, but it is still showing up in the Google search results when one types "Hicham Idelcaid" into Google. Is there any way this page recording the deletion could be removed?
